If you’re looking for a colorful, playful bird to add to your family, a lovebird may be the perfect match. Gain some insight into this adorable species below to help you decide if this bird is right for you. 

Lovebird Trivia

1. They Live in Holes

In their native habitats, lovebirds live in small caves, tree crevices, or shrubs. Domestic birds likewise favor small, dark spaces like hollowed out coconuts or spherical nests.

2. They Mate for Life 

Lovebirds are sexually mature around eight months of age and immediately begin looking for partners. Once they find one, these birds stick together their entire lives, often feeding one another and pining for each other if they’re separated. Keep in mind bonded pairs are much more interested in one another than their owner, so you may want to keep just one lovebird.

3. They Love Exercise

If you’re considering becoming a lovebird parent, make sure there is enough room in your home for one to spread their wings. Lovebirds also need access to plenty of toys to keep them occupied. They’ll be happier and less destructive and aggressive when they can be outside their cage for a few hours every day.

4. They Don’t Talk Much

Many parrots are known for their ability to mimic sounds and even talk. Lovebirds, on the other hand, are not big noisemakers. You may come across lovebirds that repeat sounds like whistling or the doorbell, but they generally don’t make as much noise as larger breeds like grey parrots, nor do they talk.
